Truthful Man.

Hon. David Davis tells frozen truth
when he says: each year every local
paper gives from 500 to 5000 in free
lines for the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No. other agency
can or will do this. The local editor, in
proportion to his means. does more for
his town than any other ten men, and in
all fairness. man with man, he ought TO
be supported, not because you happen TO
like him or admire his writings, but be
cause local paper is the best investment
community can make. 1t may not be
brilliant or crowded with great thoughts,
but financially it is more of benefit TO a
community than preacher or teacher
Understand US now, we do not mean
morally or intellectually but financially.
and yet On the moral question you viii
find the majority of local papers are
on the right side of the question. Today
the editors of local papers do the most
work for the least money of any men on
earth. Subscribe for your local paper.

Anyone who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety OF a government
bond, is added a profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide of immih
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter. added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements

The Canal and the Railroad.

The Chicago Inter Ocean has this bit Of
interesting information concerning the
Hennepin canal;
There is disposition to bubble over
details in the Hennepin canal bill. A
the same time there is a great dlssatis,
faction in the matter of freight rates on
all the railroads. II is a notorious fact
that. while navigation is open on the lake,
freight rates are much lower between
New York and Chicago than when naTi-
CATION closes. Iu fact, the railroads put
up rates on coal and other articles classed
as necessities or staples as soon as navi
CATION closes on the lake. This shows
of what benefit water route is in secur-
ing proper rates of transportation The
Hennepin canal is simply a project tc
extend the water route from Pennsylva-
MIA and New York between Chicago aud
the Mississippi river. It may not be to
the advantage of the railroads 10 make
this extension. but that it will be to til,
advantage of the people has not been
denied. As this is government bv the
people, for the people. congress, in con,
sidering the Hennepin canal project
should face toward the people. not 20
ward the railroads.

A GREAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part of thousands of sufferers
TO find relief even though they have e1-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous so-called remedies. To
such Athlophoros is offered as a safe, sure,
and quick cure. Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet it is not surprising be-
cause it uiN do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation 10 re-
liable parties who have been cured by it.
J.P. Mallette, of the MaIlette & Ray
mond Manu-. Co., No. 329 South Canal ST.,
Chicago, H., says: my wife has beena great
sufferer from neuralgia for long while,
but half bottle of Athlophoros cured her
so that she has not suffered any since.
When it was first recommended to her,
she would not get it as she was always OPP
posed to taking any kind Of patent medi-
cines. But as the treatment she was under
gave her no relief insisted on her trying
Athlophoros. After taking half bottle
the neuralgia was gone and has not re-
turned SINCE.

A GENIAL Restorative

Hostetter's stomach bitters are EN-,
phatically a genial restorative. The
changes which this great botanic remed =
produces in the disordered organization
are always agreeable. though surely
progressive, never abrupt and violent.
On this account it is admirably adapted
TO persons of delicate constitution and
weak nerves, to whom the powerful min
eral drugs are positively injurious. That
it initiates those processes which result
in the establishment of heaIthful vigor
is consDiciOusly shown in cases where it
is taken to overcome that fruitful cause
of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it
usually is, with biliousness and constipa-
ton. Thorough digestion. regular evac-
uatiOn and abundant secretion, are re-
suits which promptly and invariably at
tend its systematic use. It is, besides,
the best protective against malaria, and
first rate diuretic.
